Wow that was very well written.  Kudos to Sarang and Justin

[cAPSLOCK]

Yeah.  That's good stuff.  Important topic, and certainly one of the concepts that will be used against Monero.

Well it's just gone over 0.008....

Not too shabby, eh?  Looking forward to getting back to proper Monero prices again, it's about time.

That's about, ooh 70 bucks in 'old money'.

Well If you all remeber i've been buying back since Alphabay so i'm a little under water on my DCA.

It will be nice to get back to fucking .03 again!

But then I'm still not selling.

I learned my lesson the hard way.

So did I, way back - but I just traded and traded to get the average down.  And bought more, which helps if you're under water.  When it did rocket up in 2016, I was sitting pretty.

I hope it works out for you, and I am sure Monero will help, it does look like sooner or later it will break out properly again, it wasn't so long back it was under $40.

Crypto teaches us all the discipline of patience.

No worries, I have alot of patience and was never here for a quick score in the first place.

I'm actually just bumming on the fact that its not more mainstream and people still have no clue in general what Monero is.

Talk about the best kept secret in the World!

And we don't even try to keep it out of the spot light.

Any mixed funds on the chart above, however, are categorized according to their final destination after mixing took place.

Well, the main competitor gets all the spotlight, although it's a weaker coin (old story, I know). I guess that they care more about advertising than us.
I think that this is one of the reasons Monero remains somehow behind - as awareness, as acceptance and as price too.

Monero has actually been exposed to vulnerabilities for quite some time, which is why large exchanges don't want to list it. I know that this is one of the special features of Monero but with the number of hackers increasing and intelligent today, I think seeing XMR grow strongly again is impossible. Investors now just want to invest in bitcoin or a few top coins in the top 5, it seems that this is much disadvantage for XMR. Do you have any opinion on the upcoming market?

The whole concept of an open source public blockchain is that it is constantly exposed to the open. Everybody can read how it works and try and attack it. If the attack is survived, the project gets stronger because of it. Monero is still around after many years of constantly being attacked. This is a sign of strength, not weakness.

It's true that Substandard "privacy *cough" coins get listed and mentioned in mainstream media and that is because they are no threat to TPTB which of course is the entire reason for this space. Cypherpunks are becoming extinct and even the majority here doesn't even understand what that means to their liberties.

He just throw every thing he heard in one basket.  Monero was always secure. You cant have a crypto currency without it being secure.  But to preserve anonymity when you use Monero you always need to be careful. 5 years ago much more then today.  People like him read that Monero was not secure because they heard of of some metadata were able to link transactions in Monero and then think you cant use Monero securely. Sad really.

Especially since that meta he heard about was sent without multiple rings (intentionally) in the first place and that hole has been closed with mandatory amounts.

What would these guys tell about DeepOnion $ONION? which is another privacy-oriented cryptocurrency.

Same thing as 2 years ago:

• premined so wrong incentives
• it has a rich list: https://explorer.deeponion.org/richlist optional privacy doesn't work
• There's no development activity whatsoever, last commit with some actual content is +2 years ago: https://github.com/deeponion/deeponion

TL;DR: it's was a moneygrab/scam

A blast-off in the ratio is days away.

[tokeweed]

Yup, that's what I thought too.  It's a risk but transparent ledgers are a risk too.  A different kind but still a risk nevertheless.

I guess the XMR - BTC ratio. There were many bullish charts in last days. hopefully thy will be fruitful.
